<p><h2>THE PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING</h2>
Let us give thanks to the beneficent and merciful God, the Father of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, for He has covered us, helped us, guarded us, accepted us unto Him, spared us, supported us, and brought us to this hour. Let us also ask Him, the Lord our God, the Almighty, to guard us in all peace this holy day and all the days of our life.
O Master, Lord, God the Almighty, the Father of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, we thank You for every condition, concerning every condition, and in every condition, for You have covered us, helped us, guarded us, accepted us unto You, spared us, supported us, and brought us to this hour.
Therefore, we ask and entreat Your goodness, O Lover of mankind, to grant us to complete this holy day, and all the days of our life, in all peace with Your fear. All envy, all temptation, all the work of Satan, the counsel of wicked men, and the rising up of enemies, hidden and manifest, take them away from us, and from all Your people, and from this holy place that is Yours.
But those things which are good and profitable do provide for us; for it is You Who have given us the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and upon all the power of the enemy.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, by the grace, compassion and love of mankind, of Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ, through Whom the glory, the honor, the dominion, and the adoration are due unto You, with Him, and the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giver, Who is of one essence with You, now and at all times, and unto the ages of all ages. <b>Amen</b>.

<p><h2>PSALM 50</h2>

<SUP class="vnum">1</SUP>Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
<SUP class="vnum">2</SUP>Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
<SUP class="vnum">3</SUP>For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin <i>is</i> always before me.
<SUP class="vnum">4</SUP>Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done <i>this</i> evil in Your sight—That You may be found just when You speak, <i>And</i> blameless when You judge.
<SUP class="vnum">5</SUP>Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,And in sin my mother conceived me.
<SUP class="vnum">6</SUP> Behold, You desire truth in the inward parts, And in the hidden <i>part</i> You will make me to know wisdom.
<SUP class="vnum">7</SUP> Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
<SUP class="vnum">8</SUP> Make me hear joy and gladness,<i>That</i> the bones You have broken may rejoice.
<SUP class="vnum">9</SUP> Hide Your face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities.
<SUP class="vnum">10</SUP> Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
<SUP class="vnum">11</SUP> Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
<SUP class="vnum">12</SUP> Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me <i>by Your</i> generous Spirit.
<SUP class="vnum">13</SUP> <i>Then</i> I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
<SUP class="vnum">14</SUP> Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, <i>And</i> my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
<SUP class="vnum">15</SUP> O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
<SUP class="vnum">16</SUP> For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give <i>it;</i>You do not delight in burnt offering.
<SUP class="vnum">17</SUP> The sacrifices of God <i>are</i> a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart-These, O God, You will not despise.
<SUP class="vnum">18</SUP> Do good in Your good pleasure to Zion;Build the walls of Jerusalem.
<SUP class="vnum">19</SUP> Then You shall be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness,With burnt offering and whole burnt offering; Then they shall offer bulls on Your altar.
